AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR SOUTHEAST SD/SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWEST IA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SIOUX FALLS SD
345 AM CDT SUN JUL 27 2008

.DISCUSSION...
COMPLEX AND ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN EXPECTED THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.
TWO CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES OCURRING IN THE STATE. THE FIRST IS HEADING
THROUGH THE KFSD AREA AND HAS BEGUN TO WEAKEN AS THE AIR MASS IS
MORE STABLE OVER NW IA. HOWEVER...MID LEVEL CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED
ALONG THE 800 MB FRONT AND THAT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN STRONG THROUGH
MID MORNING...AFFECTING PRIMARILY SW MN AND EC SD. A SECOND
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX IS ALONG THE SD/ND BORDER. THIS IS EXPECTED TO
TURN TO THE SOUTHEAST AND MAY AFFECT THE NRN CWA LATER THIS MORNING
AS 30 KT OF INFLOW WILL PROVIDE AMPLE INSTABILITY TO KEEP CONVECTION
GOING. ALSO ENOUGH SHEAR TO KEEP THE GUST FRONT FROM ACCELERATING
AHEAD.

THE RESULT OF THIS CONVECTION WILL BE TO KEEP THE SURFACE BOUNDARY
TO THE SOUTH OF I90...MORE IN LINE WITH THE NAM...WHICH WAS FOLLOWED
FOR THIS FORECAST. WITH THE BOUNDARY IN PLACE AND DEW POINTS
APPROACHING 70 F...IT WILL BE VERY UNSTABLE WITH MLCAPES AROUND 3000
J/KG AND BULK SHEAR WILL BE 35 TO 45 KTS. A SHORTWAVE MOVING IN FROM
SE MT WILL REACH CNTRL SD BY MID AFTERNOON AND EXPECT NEW CONVECTION
TO DEVELOP ALONG THE BOUNDARY IN SC SD AND SPREAD EAST OR ESE TOWARD
SUX AND INTO NW IOWA. ENOUGH ORGANIZATION EXPECTED FOR ISOLATED
SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND WIND IN EXCESS OF 50
KTS. LCL COULD BE LOW ENOUGH AND ENOUGH SHEAR IN THE LOWEST 1 KM
THAT AN ISOLATED TORNADO IS POSSIBLE. WHILE CLOUDS WILL HOLD TEMPS
DOWN EARLY...EXPECT ENOUGH SUN...ESP WEST OF I29 FOR TEMPS TO REACH
THE UPPER 80S.  FARTHER EAST...TEMPS WILL STAY IN THE LOWER 80S.

CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA THIS EVENING AS
THE WAVE MOVES INTO IOWA. WHILE A WEAKER LOW LEVEL JET WILL BECOME
ESTABLISHED TONIGHT...THERE IS NOT A LOT OF SUPPORT FOR ASCENT AS
WEAK RIDGING ALOFT OCCURS. MID-LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS AND INSTABILITY
MAY BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ALONG OR N OF I90.
THESE STORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE SEVERE WITH ONLY SOME PEA SIZE
HAIL POSSIBLE.

MONDAY WILL BE A VERY WARM DAY AS THE MID LEVEL BOUNDARY MOVES NORTH
AND THE CWA IS WELL INTO THE WARM SECTOR. FOR NOW...EXPECT 90S ONLY
IN THE JAMES AND MISSOURI RIVER VALLEYS ALTHOUGH IF WARM AIR SURGES
FARTHER NORTH COULD SEE 100 AROUND 9V9 AND 90S OVER MUCH OF SE SD
AND NW IA. WITH A STRONG CAP IN PLACE MUCH OF THE DAY...IT WILL ALSO
BE VERY HUMID AND HEAT INDICES WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S IN
THE MISSOURI VALLEY INCLUDING SUX. A BOUNDARY AND STRONGER WAVE WILL
APPROACH THE CWA LATE IN THE AFTERNOON...SO HAVE A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE LATE AFTERNOON WEST OF THE JAMES RIVER. THIS
CHANCE WILL INCREASE IN THE EVENING AS THE WAVE MOVES THROUGH WITH
THE BOUNDARY. AGAIN...VERY UNSTABLE AIR IN PLACE BUT SHEAR WILL BE
LESS...20-30 KTS SO STORMS LIKELY TO BE MORE MULTICELLULAR.
HOWEVER...WITH THETA-E DIFFERENCES GREATER THAN 30K OVER MUCH OF THE
AREA...DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE A GREATER THREAT...ESPECIALLY IF
STORMS ORGANIZE INTO A LINEAR SYSTEM.

CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO BE THROUGH THE AREA BY TUESDAY MORNING.
DID NOT MAKE CHANGES BEYOND TUESDAY DUE TO CONVECTION EARLY THIS
MORNING.

&&

.AVIATION...

CONVECTION WILL BRING WIND GUSTS TO 40 KTS EARLY THIS MORNING IN SW
MN AS WELL AS AROUND INTO KFSD PRIOR TO 10Z.  OTHER CONVECTION COUDL
AFFECT KHON THROUH MID MORNING. ANY CONVECTION WILL PRODUCE A BRIEF
PERIOD OF MVFR VSBYS AND CIGS.  MORE CONVECTION EXPECTED LATER THIS
AFTERNOON WILL PRIMARILY AFFECT ALONG AND SOUTH OF I90. THIS WILL
HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE LARGE HAIL...WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF
50 KTS AND MVFR OR EVEN A BRIEF PERIOD OF IFR CONDITIONS. BEST
CHANCE OF THIS CONVECTION WILL BE FROM 20Z - 02Z. PRIMARILY VFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED AFTER 02Z.
